Austria due to declare the second lockdown on Tuesday. Restaurants and cafes will only offer takeaway or delivery for at least a month. All indoor recreational areas apart from libraries will be closed. People are allowed to see a maximum of 6 different people from one household other than their own. And there'll be a curfew from 8PM to 6AM. Nightwalks seem to be exempt from the curfew though, as long as you take them just by yourself.
We've had an average of over 4000 new cases per day recently, so that was only a matter of time (Austria has a population just shy of 9 Mill). I'm glad this new lockdown-lite has left open some pockets of air. The way I know myself, I won't make use of the being able to see people from one other housold often, but it's nice to know it's an option.
Right now I'm at a point where I say "Well, whatever, that dreaded time of the year's ahead anyway. Now at least I have a good excuse for indulging in my hermit ways."
What a fucked time we're living in. But hey, it's a step up from March and April.
